Jamie Yates – Covenant Christian Academy
4.0 GPA
Sports: Gymnastics
You don’t find too many seniors like Jamie Yates sitting next to you in class. She truly follows the moniker “Do on to others…” at Covenant Christian Academy. It’s hard to believe she finds time for herself with all the time she’s giving. She’s the complete package in the classroom; 4.0 GPA, 31 on her ACT and the two college courses she’s taking while still in high school have netted A’s, as well. She’s a 4.0 in gymnastics…..Make that a perfect “10.” Multiple first, second and third place awards from numerous competitions throughout the entire country are her reward for years of hard work dedicating herself to the sport and to competition. When her focus isn’t on a balance-beam or a book, it’s on her community and how many hours of her time she gives back to her church and those who are in need. Great things wil be expected out of this determined young lady. Congratulations, Jamie!
Week 4
Matthew Wilt – Hazel Green High School
4.00 GPA
Sports: Soccer
If Matthew Wilt could bounce a soccer ball on his feet all day, every day, I’m sure he’d be one happy person. At some point he must have, because this Hazel Green High senior has acquired a rather long list of accolades on the soccer field. He’s a varsity team starter, team captain his junior and senior years, and was voted team MVP as a junior. Named to the All-County team, Matthew helped his team win a state championship by playing for the A.Y.S.O. U19 soccer team. Grades are not a problem for Matthew. His 4.0 GPA holds strong, as well as his membership to the National Honors Society. He gives back, too. His time and efforts are put forth to benefit his school, the Special Olympics, Red Cross and church. Congratulations, Matthew!
